Congressional Records Protection Act aims to safeguard congressional records and communications from unwarranted surveillance.
The Congressional Records Protection Act seeks to protect the separation of powers by preventing governmental entities from obtaining records related to Members of Congress or congressional employees without proper notification. It prohibits the review of such records unless certain conditions are met, including notifying the relevant Member or employee. Exceptions apply if the records pertain to a criminal investigation or if there is an imminent risk to life or serious bodily injury.
